You can always count on the British weather to be one thing: unpredictable. Which can make it difficult to make any kind of plans with your kids on weekends or during school holidays! What can you do with kids when it’s raining?

Go wild on safari
Home to over 700 animals, including lions, tigers and bears (oh my!), the  safari at Port Lympne is an experience like no other. Hop aboard one of the authentic safari trucks (included in your entry ticket) and journey across the plains of South America, Asia and Africa! There is an incredible array of animals as they roam freely throughout the park.

Close encounters!
If your kids love animals, Port Lympne offers an amazing array of animal experiences that will inspire, teach and engage. The Keeper Academy lets them see inside the inner-workings of the park, with a hands-on, day-long course that gives them the unique opportunity to care for and feed rare, endangered species, or the Animal Encounter lets you meet and feed an animal of your choice! These once-in-a-lifetime experiences are easily achievable here.

Food, glorious food
There’s lots of indoor food options to keep everyone warm and well-fed even in the most drizzly of weather. Our range of restaurants cater for all tastes, including delicious wood-fired pizza at Babydoll’s, afternoon tea in the Moroccan Courtyard or an a la carte three-course meal at the Port Lympne Hotel Restaurant, to name just a few.

Make it into a short break
Why not extend your stay here for longer than just a day at one of our outstanding accommodation options? You’re bound to get some decent weather at some point during your visit! Plus you’ll have loads of time to fit in all the different things to see and do, with many accommodation sites offering exclusive access to a personal golf buggy to explore with.

Our animal lodges like Tiger Lodge will create truly unforgettable memories, where you’ll have a direct window into the tiger habitat. Maybe you want to scale the heights of one of our glamorous Treehouses, or try a spot of glamping at Bear Lodge. See all of our short breaks here!
